Week #36

My Week in Images

Sunrise in the Park

Looking Up

Waiting

This week I was on a mission to figure out which of my cameras I should take to Paris. I would like to take just one camera with me so I am deciding between my Fuji XT10 and my Fuji X100T. Both are small cameras, which is very important for me, but one has a fixed lens and the other I could bring along several prime lenses. It's important to me to keep my equipment simple since I don't want my equipment to get in way of the experience. 

For the entire week I shot with my Fuji X100T. This is such a great camera, so easy to tuck in my purse and take with me all week. These images were taken around the town where I live. I tried a little landscape, street, and abstract photography to get a sense of using the camera in a variety of environments. 

I'm pleased with the results so this decision is going to be much harder than I thought. Stayed tuned for next week when I put my Fuji XT10 through the same paces.

Week #2

Newspaper and Hand

I've been thinking about ways to improve my photography this year and I've decided to only use one lens for all of my work. I'm going to use the new Fuji XF 35mm F2 that also happens to be my Christmas present from my wonderful husband. This lens along with my Fuji X-T10 should carry me through the year.

Valerie Jardin is a talented street photographer and teacher that talks quite a lot about the "power of limitations".  You can read her articles at the Digital Photography School . I'm hoping that by using one lens I will, slow down, take care to compose the shot, get it "right" in the camera, and develop muscle memory with my camera.

I'll check in as the year progresses with my thoughts and learnings as I move forward with one camera - one lens.
